    Unless you're working at something like this

    I don't understand why you'd sacrifice the functionality and comfort of a normal keyboard.

    Now tax is out of the way I was going to get a new keyboard, but TBH I'm now a bit put off by the idea of having something neat that then requires a massive wrist rest.

    I like to have/use a notepad - especially as I'm stuck with one laptop screen. So adding more shit to my work area doesn't appeal.

    When you say normal you mean "full width" (including num block etc.) ?

    I want my keyboard more narrow so the mouse / trackpad isn't so far off to the right -
    that way I don't have to reach so far to the right everytime, it's more ergonomical.
    Plus I really don't need a num block, can't remember ever using one to be frank.

    When you mean "mechanical" (instead of chiclet style) then yea, I'm just quite used to the magic keyboard of my macbook; reason why I don't get an external one is because I don't like the white and it is indeed a bit cramped (I use arrow keys a lot and really don't get why they don't make them t-shaped at least like, they do in the recent laptops).

    No, I understand why some might drop that or have a tenkeyless(?). I mean more that the Nuphy Nutype F1 you posted seems abnormally small. It's made the sort of compromises you make with a tinny laptop out of necessity, but with almost every human sized desk you wouldn't. Although I do think it's cleaver.
